Useful Hints. e

Blueberry stains may be removed from
table linen by putting the part stained
into boiling water.
The white of an egg, with q little
water and sugar, is good for children
with an irritable stomach.
Bar soap, when first bought, should be
cut in square pieces and put in a dry
place. 1t lasts better after shrinking.
When the knives and folks are stained
with egg scour them with common table
salt. Medicine stains can be removed
from spoons in the same manner.
To cut glass jar, fill it with lard OF
to where you want to cut the jar; then
heat an iron rod or bar to red heat; i'm
merse it in the oil. The unequal expan-
sion will crack the jar all around at the
surface of the oil, and you can lift off the
top part.
Little cleavers or broad headed tacks
easily removed are the best for putting
down mating. They simply catch the
two edges together, holding them firmly
in place, and can be much more easily
removed than the common carpet tack
and without injury to the selvedge of
the mating.
Castor oil is highly recommended for
softening and preserving shoes. Applied
at night about once month it allows
polishing in the usual way the next morn
ing, and keeps the leather in good con-
dition. One who has tried it for years
says his shoes last nearly twice as long
since he began the practice, and they re-
ceive higher polish.

C0urtshin and Marriage.

Every young lady has right to know
why young man solicits her company.
Her life is too valuable to be trifed with
for mere pleasure. But young ladies
like company They can make it a
pleasure or curse. Courtship, if prop
erlv engaged in, is only an Introduction
to the happiness that will follow. Find
one that will love you, not only through
courtship, but through joys and sorrows,
success and adversity-one that will be
helpmeet through life. Acquaintance
is one of the important elements of
courtship.
Too many young ladies have commit
ted suicide and died broken-hearted be-
cause they did not gain knowledge of
their lovers characters before bestowing
their affections on them. Have both eyes
open. Court in the daytime and not in
the dark. Young man, go around in the
daytime and see what your sweetheart is
doing when she does not expect you.
Get knowledge of her traits of char
acter and domestic life. Young lady, be
careful of your choice. See to it that a
polished address does not cover many
vices. Don't go blindfolded on this voy-
age of married life, but intelligently and
wisely on both sides. With such choice
true happiness is sure to follow. = Cteoe-

Queer Household Decorations.

The craze for queer and uncouth OBJ
jeets for decorating houses grow more
rapid constantly. Not long ago / was
in an apartment decorated almost en-
tirely by whips of every conceivable
fashion and size down to the modern
cowboy lash. The effect was unusually
interesting. A Philadelphia million
nairc named Fales, who died some years
ago, had devoted great deal of his
time in collecting canes. They were
from all quarters of the globe, and
ranged from the spike sticks of the
South Sea Islanders to the London
"crutch and toothpick" canes, which
were popular in London at that time.
Nearly all of them were sold at auc-
ton in New York. never heard what
became of the collection until about n
month ago, when l saw nearly four
hundred of them ranged around
the walls of a library in
big house In Seventy-second
street. They stood upright on the floor,
held by rack, and they formed an ad-
mirable substitute for wainscotting. The
history of every cane was fastened on
the wall above the handle of the stick
to which it referred. l know of Jap
anese room in which several panels of
the wall are formed of Japanese tapes

of the family worked in. The head of

The Limit Of Twilight.

BY observing how far the sun has to
sink beneath the horizon before the top
most summit of the air is cut off from its
rays, the conclusion has been arrived at
that the greatest upward limit of twi-
light is some S78, 900 feet or nearly
seventy-one feet above the sea level. 1t
is well-known fact that, by observing
the earth's shadow on the moon during
the time of eclipses, the inference came
to be held by astronomers that the at
mosphere must be sufficiently dense to
produce twilight for at least 240, 900 feet
away from the earth's surface. -Phila-
delphia Call.

Choquart died in poverty. For over
twenty years he had lived on a small pen
sion granted him by the Comte de Cham
bord. When, however, he received five
hundred francs, his wont was to give his
friends supper which cost the same
sum, 80 that on certain days of the year
he went supperless to bed. Still, he was
extremely punctilious in money matters.
Another chapter will throw light on this
side of his character.
Several years ago we were supping,
after midnight, at the Vaudeville coffee
house. Among those present were
Bouffe, the lessee and manager of the
Vaudeville Theater; Briffaut, the jour
nalist; Doctor Lallemand, who was the
proprietor of the Passage Radziwill; an
old notary of the name of Dubois; Ar
mand Marrast, then writer on the staff
of the Tribune; an old sherff's officer
called Mouton, and Choquart The
latter had, as usual, grown tender over
the fate of the Princes belonging to the
elder line; and Mouton, the sheriff's
officer, whose political sympathies in

as to say that Charles X. was an old idiot.
After this Choquart, pale with rage, rose
from his seat and said to Mouton:
II have taken an oath to slap the face
of any man who insults my king. I
shall now, therefore, slap yours"
The situation was exceedingly grave,
and everybody felt dreadfully uncom-
Portable. Choquart suddenly stopped
short, and said:
"Dear mel l owe Mouton louis,
and can not strike him without first
reimbursing the money. 1t would be
ungentlemanly in me to act otherwise.
Briffaut, lend me louis, will you, that
l may slap Mouton's facet"
II have no change" answered Brit
faut.
"Bouffe, quick, lend me louis, that
may cuff Moutons ears'
"My dear Choquart," replied Bouffe
II shall only be too happy to lend yor
four times the amount outside of thi'
place, but l can not lend you louis fol
the purpose you mention"
At that moment entered the coffee
house.

The evidence against Jake Sharp is
much stronger than was expected. If
sympathy does not have an influence
upon the jury it is difficult TO see how
he can escape conviction, Sharp is
70 years old and is quite feeble. I'm
der the best Of circumstances his days
are numbered, and even a short sem
tence would doubtless prove fatal.
His council apparently intend to make
the most OF this and work upon the
feelings OF the twelve men who are to
decide the old mans guilt or inno-
cence. Meanwhile Sharp will be
closely watched in Ludlow Street
Jail. He is to be allowed no privi-
leges, and cannot visit his home.
Tweed escaped and so did Sharkey,
the murderer, and it is claimed by the
prosecution that Sharp would escape
could he find the opportunity. There
fore no opportunity will be given him,
and even the members of his family
will not be allowed to remain with
him, While all this is just, It'll doubt
iul if it is policy. Already Sharp has
protested to the newspapers that no
thought OF escape has occurred to him.

money, Upon being notified that his
case was about to be passed upon, he
at once returned to Nashville. Curtis
in order to protect himself against in

still refuses to see any inconsistency

says, is literally true except, perhaps,
the statement that "there is not an
intelligent man in this broad land Of

Mr.. Cleveland is now President of the

against the elective franchise" He
admits that this may be too broad, but
